linkage issue

[Slavko Vorkapitch]

In common.h

extern int currentLineNumber;
extern int currentNestingLevel;

In common.cpp
#incude "common.h"

int currentLineNumber = 0;
int currentNestingLevel = 0;

In buffer.cpp

#include "common.h"

char TSourceBuffer::GetLine(void)
{
extern int currentLineNumber;
extern int currentNestingLevel;

do stuff with currentLineNumber and currentNestingLevel..

g++ is complaining about undefined reference to these two variables.
Any help appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Why do you feel the need to redeclare these in the function?

Why do you feel the need to declare global variables at all? Remember coding
C++ not C.

Why do you think global variables are a feature common to or restricted
to C programming?

I got around the likage issue by removing the common.cpp file and
initializing the 2 variables in the .h file. Currently I have a
another issue with using a C style function ina C++ file:

In error.h

void AbortTranslation(TAbortCode ac);

In error.cpp

void AbortTranslation(TAbortCode ac)
{
.....
.....
}

In list.cpp

#include "error.h"

some_function
{
AbortTranslation(..);
}

g++ is complaining about undefined reference to AbortTranslation.

Thanks in advance (again),
